I am new to Ubuntu and I'm trying to install Popcorn Time.
I downloaded 32 bit version and tried to install it but that's where the problem started showing.

I double clicked the executable file and well, nothing happened. It's a official download from their website but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong... Anyway, I found out that you can install it from a script, but people keep talking in Ubuntu terms and I don't understand it, so I have a few questions:

How to make a script? (which I'm suppose to run in terminal using bash command),

Is it normal that i cannot run the installer, and if that is an installer or just files for the program.

If it is an installer, how do I make it work?

What does " Cannot execute binary file" mean?

Thank you in advance, hope I'm not asking too many questions (please understand that I'm new to Ubuntu) and sorry about my English. xD

Question 2

Yes it is really normal that you are unable to run that installer as that might not be your system specific installer.Ubuntu can easily understand .deb , .rpm , .sh also .exe but using a special software called WINE.

Question 3

Linux is secure so it might have made your installer dysfunctional.In other words might have made it non-executable.So you make it executable by following this.

1. right click on that installer.
2. open permissions tab
3. check the option that says "allow executing file as a program"
4. press close button.
Now double click that file and you should see a box saying display , run in terminal and some others.
Press run in terminal.

Now you may get some other errors or it will run perfectly if it is right for your OS.

Question 4

This simply means this is not an ready to execute file.So make it executable using the answer to question 3.

I have tried to talk in non-ubuntu terminology as much as possible.I hope it helps you.
